Lice and mites!

Rating: 8

My new baby rat is covered in lice and might also have mites :( Can i get rid of them so they never come back? should i treat it myself or take him in to see a vet?

    There are some ivermectin spot on products for small pets you can get or alternatively your vet can use an injection. You will need to get either option from your vet Im afraid. hope that helps, David

    Every day I see pets come into my clinic injured and unwell. Its always so upsetting knowing that treatment could be taken a lot further only if the owner had taken out pet insurance. You have health insurance, so should your pet... Dr Brooks
